  • Patent number: 9596794
    Abstract: Methods for applying protective coatings to electronic devices that have already been assembled, and are in a consumer-ready or aftermarket form, are disclosed. In such a method, an electronic device may be at least partially disassembled to expose at least a portion of an interior of the electronic device. A protective coating is applied to some or all of the exposed surfaces of the electronic devices, including one or more internal surfaces, features or components of the electronic device. Thereafter, the electronic device may be reassembled. During and after reassembly, the protective coating resides internally within the electronic device. Systems for applying protective coatings to interior components of previously assembled electronic devices are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140162557
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes an outer assembly that lacks ports or other openings through which water or fluids may enter into an interior of the portable electronic device, which is defined by the outer assembly and, thus, into the presence of electronic components within the interior of the portable electronic device. The outer assembly may only include a display and a housing, or it may additionally include a waterproof microphone and at least one waterproof speaker. A protective coating, such as a moisture resistant film or coating, may coat some or all of the internal electronic components and/or some or all of the internal surfaces of the outer assembly.
